While pondering Yun Xiaoxiao's origins, Yuan Shitou reconstructed the trap.
He was very curious: if Yun Xiaoxiao was able to escape from human traffickers, why would she willingly be sold again?
What is she plotting?
However, after spending these days together, I haven't found anything wrong with her.
There's nothing about his family that's worth worrying about.
Her father had already given her the only valuable dagger he owned.
Is she here seeking revenge?
But they've always lived deep in the mountains and have no enemies with anyone.
Furthermore, none of her small actions seemed to be feigned.
What exactly is the reason?
Even after Yuan Shitou had almost finished repairing the trap, he still hadn't figured out Yun Xiaoxiao's purpose.
He had no choice but to abandon all distractions and focus on restoring the trap.
He had just come to his senses when he heard Yun Xiaoxiao calling him.
"Brother Stone, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed in it. I've called you so many times."
Yun Xiaoxiao pouted and said unhappily.
Yuan Shitou felt a little guilty. It was all his fault for being so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't heard Xiao Xiao calling him.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao tilting her head to look at him, he said somewhat shyly:
"I'm wondering what to do with all this meat?"
Should we give some to the village chief and the others?
Yun Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "What's there to think about?"
We'll send some to a few close families in the village, and the rest we'll preserve with salt.
That way we can have meat every day.
Yuan Shitou agreed with her and nodded, saying:
"You're so clever! I was stuck here for ages. How stupid of me!"
Yuan Shitou wanted to carry the big wild boar, so Yun Xiaoxiao carried the basket on his back.
Yun Xiaoxiao asked Yuan Shitou if there was another way to get home.
She guessed that Fan Xiaohua was definitely waiting on their usual route.
They might even come and pester their prey when they see them.
Yuan Shitou was also somewhat annoyed; he already had a child, yet she still came to bother him.
Besides, he has clearly stated that he doesn't like her and only sees her as a younger sister.
Hearing Xiaoxiao say that, he chose a longer route.
But we still have to follow the old path.
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao had guessed, Fan Xiaohua was sitting on their way, waiting for them.
He would also stand up and look around from time to time.
Seeing that she was looking this way, Yuan Shitou was so frightened that he quickly ducked down.
I'm afraid that if they see it, it will cause more trouble.
While Fan Xiaohua sat down again, the two quickly left via a side path.
They were sneaking around, like thieves.
Fortunately, Yuan Shitou was quite strong and went straight home without taking a break.
Upon seeing the wild boar, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan were both startled.
Mother Yuan asked in surprise, "Oh dear, my ancestor, are you hurt?"
While talking, he helped Yun Xiaoxiao take the basket off her back.
He was surprised to see the prey in the basket: "How come there are so many prey?"
Where did you play?
Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Shitou both collapsed to the ground, panting.
Although the weight was nothing to them, the distance was too far.
Not only is the road long, but it's also difficult to travel.
Seeing their expressions, Yuan's mother quickly brought them two bowls of water, which they both drank heartily.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao's disheveled appearance, Yuan's mother felt extremely distressed.
Such a small person, carrying so much prey back, no wonder he looks so disheveled.
You can't blame the son; he couldn't do anything about carrying the wild boar.
After the two had recovered, Yuan's father asked, "Did you go to Misty Mountain?"
Yuan Shitou nodded.
His father used to be a skilled hunter; he couldn't be fooled.
Upon seeing him nod, Mother Yuan jumped up:
"What did you say? You took Xiaoxiao to Misty Mountain?"
Oh my god.
Didn't I warn you from a young age that you can't go into Misty Mountain?
You black bear who won't listen to human speech.
You went without saying anything, and even brought Xiaoxiao with you.
What if we encounter wild animals?
She's so small and thin, she wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.
After saying that, he spat twice, bowed to the sky, and said, "Good things work, bad things don't."
"Heavens above, this foolish woman is ignorant and talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart."
Mr. Yuan also disagreed, saying, "Running around in other mountains is fine, why did you go to Misty Mountain?"
Yuan's mother checked Yun Xiaoxiao's entire body, and the more she thought about it, the angrier and more frightened she became.
He walked around the yard, then grabbed a broom and started hitting Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou didn't run away; he just waited for his mother to beat him.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry for Yuan Shitou.
I just carried a 200-pound wild boar back, taking such a long detour.
He had barely caught his breath when he was about to be beaten by Yuan's mother.
She insisted on going into Misty Mountain, but it was Yuan Shitou who ended up getting beaten up.
Feeling guilty, Yun Xiaoxiao stopped Yuan's mother from hitting her again.
"Mother, please stop hitting Brother Stone. Hit me instead."
"It was me who insisted on going into Misty Mountain."
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears, Madam Yuan could not bear to blame her.
He quickly dropped the broom, hugged Yun Xiaoxiao, and called her his precious darling.
Yuan Shitou was also somewhat taken aback.
Was Xiaoxiao just speaking up for him?
He looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with gratitude.
Yun Xiaoxiao gave him a bright smile.
It made Yuan Shitou feel as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
Mr. Yuan said to Mrs. Yuan, "Alright, alright."
Go boil some water and get the wild boar out.
Otherwise it would smell terrible in this kind of weather.
Mother Yuan wiped away her tears and said, "Look at me, I'll go right now. I'll go right now."
Yuan Shitou stood up and said, "I'll go find a few people to help."
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly called out to him, "Brother Shitou, are you stupid?"
We took a detour to get back.”
Yuan Shitou immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Then we'll do it ourselves."
After saying that, he ran off to prepare the venue.
Mr. Yuan asked in confusion, "Did you come back from the back mountain?"
But what trouble did we encounter?
He asked if it was Yun Xiaoxiao, because only Yun Xiaoxiao was there.
Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't keep secrets, so she told Fan Xiaohua everything she had done.
Mr. Yuan's old face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.
He sighed and said, "You did the right thing. Don't get entangled with her anymore."
It's best to keep your distance if necessary; that kid has some ulterior motives.
Let's just avoid provoking her.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded; she thought so too.
Mrs. Yuan came out of the kitchen soon after.
She was also holding a bowl with two poached eggs in it.
He handed the bowl to Yun Xiaoxiao and told her to eat it while it was hot so she could replenish her energy.
Yun Xiaoxiao was incredibly grateful, her eyes stinging and aching.
Seeing that Yuan Shitou was still busy, he picked up the bowl and ran over.
He said to Yuan Shitou, "Brother Shitou, look how much my mother loves me. She even cooked poached eggs for me with sugar in them."
Yuan Shitou found her smug look rather amusing:
"If you like to eat them, I'll go find some wild eggs tomorrow and have your mother cook them for you every day."
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly ate one and drank two sips of soup.
Then, taking advantage of Yuan Shitou's inattention, he smeared another fried egg on the corner of Yuan's mouth.
He pretended to be angry and said, "Hey, Brother Stone, just say you want to eat it."
Why did you smell all the fragrance and then stick your tongue out to lick it?
